    Product Description

    The Dean EAB Electric Acoustic Bass is the perfect starter bass guitar for the beginning bass player. Now you can play bass with or without an amp! This is a comfortable bass that's loud enough for jam sessions with acoustic guitar players, and has the on-board electronics to let you take it right up on stage. For home recording, an acoustic bass is absolutely perfect because you get an incredible sound and you don't have to spend time finding the sweet spot miking up a speaker cabinet. Features include a select spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a passive piezo pickup system. Dean is really doin' it right with the Electric Acoustic Bass.

    From the Manufacturer

    Here's a versatile acoustic-electric bass from Dean. It's perfect for a beginner looking to enjoy some acoustic, living-room jams, but still features a Dean preamp for plugging into your favorite bass amp or recording gear. The EAB features a spruce top, mahogany body, rosewood bridge and fretboard, pearl dot inlays, and legendary Dean construction and playability, at an affordable price.







    Mahogany Body With Spruce Top
    The Mahogany/Spruce combo is a pretty common choice in acoustic tonewoods, whether for basses or guitars. Mahogany boasts a wide dynamic range, perfect for ampifying your nuance and still sounding good when you lay into it.

    The spruce accentuates the bass and treble end of things. It also just looks great, with the deep brown mahogany contrasting the satin-finish spruce.

    34-Inch Mahogany Neck
    The EAB features a mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, and classic pearl dot inlays. It boasts a rosewood bridge to match, with a contemporary "sliver" shape that's all Dean.

    Celluloid Binding and Rosette
    Speaking of looks, the EAB has plenty, enhanced by the celluloid rosette and body binding.

    Dean Tuners
    Dean diecast tuners complete the hardware ensemble, ensuring you stay in tune even when you're plugged in and rocking out.

    Dean Passive Preamp
    The EAB sounds great on its own, but sometimes you want to turn things up a bit (or plug into an audio interface for recording, perhaps).

    The onboard Dean preamp offers basic volume and tone controls to dial in just the sound you need.

    Not a good purchase :(
    1 Star
    Not a good purchase :(
    Not a good guitar. Feels like a cheap toy. Also, when it arrived, it had permanant scuff marks on the side and several cracks along the neck near the frets. Will return asap. P.s. the frets ARE SHARP (will cut you) as other reviewers have reported.
